~~⚠️ De-clickbait-ify the youtube titles or your post will be removed!~~

~~Floatplane titles are perfectly fine.~~

~~LTT/LMG community. Brought to you by ******... Actually, no, not this time. This time it's brought to you by Lemmy, the open communities and free and open source software!~~

~~If you post videos from Youtube/LTT, please please un-clickbait the titles. (You can use the title from https://nitter.net/LTTtranslator/ but it doesn't seem to have been updated in quite some while...)~~

I am a very pragmatic person. Credit should always go where credit is due, especially if there was the work put in to get the result. LMG are not putting in the work, they are grifting at the expense of others who are making an effort. More so, LMG are adamant that they can do no wrong. He has people working for him who can give the desired result, but they are hampered by the greedy cash grab.

GN are not the only ones that have issues with LMG. Listen to the comments from hardware unboxed regarding their subscriber base and the comments made to them in streams. I don't watch LTT, so I do not know how far back this goes, but then where does it become too much?

Should he be allowed to ruin start ups like he did? Me personally, I would say not at all.

He is more than happy to trash something for being bad, shouldn't he also expect the same experience in return?

GN made a follow up to the shady comments Linus made regarding this. GN have stated they will make no further comments on this. The ball is clearly in the court of LMG. The common sense thing to do would be to tighten up on the practises. Double down on being right first time. Be prepared to pull videos that show LMG in a bad light. It is pretty obvious from the reactions in here that to not take heed and ignore this, then he will be heading into a spiral dive.
